Eduardo,
it all depends on your subject matter experience, how much time you can
afford for daily studies, how good you are at studies etc. And since
CCIE R/S subject matter is quite wide, you'd probably better have a slow
start.
Back in 2004 IP Expert released quite a bunch of small labs per subject
(OSPF, EIGRP, FR etc), they released it for free for one month, one
could also print them from PDFs. That was a great start to me.
Don't be too self-confident, scoring high in pre-qualification test
doesn't buy you any safe pass for the lab. Touch advanced topics on LAN
switching, dive into routing and you'll see it for yourself.
Along your CCIE journey, once getting into that self-confidence mood,
take one of CheckIT or MOC labs, you'll see where you are.
But you may as well be a genius, though those are few and far between
nowadays :-), then just ignore my words above.
Good luck,
A.
